No one here but us sticks... Peppered moth caterpillar. Crazy thing - I first noticed this caterpillar on Monday. I took my small camera down, but didn't manage to get a sharp photo. When I walked by today there he was - in exactly the same spot, so I grabbed the good camera and came back for a second go.
